CiS COUNCIL – SKYPE MEETING 2018.06.25 MINUTES & REPORT … · CiS regulates the DA (FEDA Docente de Ajedrez) + FIDE School Instructor title. The title is designed to be awarded

CiS COUNCIL – SKYPE MEETING 2018.06.25 MINUTES & REPORT TO PB

Present (4/7): Chairman and Councillors Roselli, Sitale & Suarez. Apologies: Councillor

Dongre.

SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR (SI)

95 new SI Titles approved by CiS are attached for formal approval by PB.

TITLE & DIPLOMA AWARD PROCEDURE

We propose to handle the award of the School Instructor Title in the same way as Diplomas

for FIDE School Chess Leader and Early Years Skills, thus:

1. At the beginning of a course/seminar, teachers fill in a Registration Form (REG –

Handbook B08 Annex 4) and marks are awarded as per Regulations (Hanbook B.08).

2. At the end of a course/seminar, candidates take an exam, for which marks are

awarded.

3. The combined score (1&2) is then assessed and, if 50 or more, the candidate has

'achieved' the SI.

This is all as at present, now we propose that:

4. Seminar organizers shall be responsible for submission to CiS of all relevant forms

FULLY COMPLETED.

5. CiS Council should meet (by email) monthly to 'approve' (or not) those title

'achievements'.

6. The list of those so approved will be sent to Elista (and then to Athens) for

processing, inclusion in the FIDE Database and invoicing (as appropriate).

NB. Handbook ... applies to 'Title Applications' ‐ there is no application process for SI Titles,

merely an award process.

LECTURERS

We propose to formalise the addition of new Lecturers to the List of Lecturers:

1 National Federation recommendation

2 Candidate must have served as Assistant Lecturer at least once

3 Recommendation by that Lecturer ('secret')

4 CV concentrating on Teaching/Lecturing

5 CiS Council decides – approves/rejects the candidate.

SEMINAR FEES

Not yet a formal proposal – we welcome PB (especially Treasurer) input on this:

The FIDE Fee (of ‘up to €100’) could be clarified by, for example, stating the following scale:

DEV Level 1 €100

DEV Level 2 €50

DEV Level 3‐5 €0

FIDE Affiliated organizations €30

FIDE SYLLABUS

Chairman proposed that we develop a FIDE Syllabus for school chess classes.

This would be based upon materials that are part of our seminars and online courses:

Early Years Skills (eys.fide.com) for 4‐7

Planet Chess 7‐11 (2nd ed; 1st ed at cis.fide.com) for 7‐11

The group was not unanimous – the main objection being that many federations have their

own recommended materials.

Any pointer from the PB would be helpful to resolve this issue.

SCH/FIDE FLAG

There have been some problems ‐ teachers not related with any national federation. There

will be more and more such cases in the future. Michalis Kaloumenos (Chairman of OLC) has

suggested a possible solution. Council discussed and approved the proposal. With PB

approval, we will submit this to Batumi GA.

It is possible to include all newcomers from the CiS projects in our current database by the

introduction of a new flag, the SCH flag. The SCH flag should be given to individuals who:

1. Are not members and are not related with any National Chess Federation

2. Do not participate in FIDE rated chess events as players, and

3. do not have or wish to obtain a FIDE title monitored by ARB or TRG.

Notes: (A) The National Federation who organize themselves CiS events may wish to (or be

forced to) issue a FIDE ID under their flag. (B) if SCH individuals wish to participate in FIDE

rated tournaments as players then they must switch to FIDE flag and pay the 60 euros license

fee or switch to a National flag. (C) ARB and TRG had no objection to offer their services to

FIDE flagged individuals. (D) SCH should be exclusive for CiS. Any other service requires FIDE

flag or a National flag.

The required data for issuing a SCH id are the usual ones according to R&L, 1.10

The numbers allocated for SCH ids should be decided by Vladimir.

It must be decided when to register the individuals and provide them with an id under SCH

flag: (a) upon their registration for seminars (b) upon reception of payment for seminars or (c)

[this is our recommendation] after step 6 of the proposed new CiS award procedure. If it is

convenient for Vladimir, this should also apply to FIDE Student registration.

Flag correction from SCH to FID and SCH to National flag must be free of charge.

MILLENIUM 2000 GMBH PROPOSED ROYALTY FOR FIDE‐CIS ENDORSEMENT

This company produces a chess computer currently called Karpov Chess School.

‐ For a new improved model, they want to have FIDE/CiS endorsement.

‐ They propose a royalty to FIDE of 3% (= ca. €1‐€1.20) per unit.

Chairman found similar arrangements with manufacturers of chess computers in Hong Kong

(1978) and computer chess software USA (1982) but they have long expired. This time the

company came to us!

Chairman proposed that we recommend this to PB for contract negotiation to proceed. This

was agreed but with one dissenting voice (“Instead of signing a contract with the company

with name and surname, write a generic document without a name that allows a posteriori

that any company that is interested can make your offer.” In my opinion that would not be

acceptable to the company.).

FORMS & DOCUMENTATION

Revised and corrected versions of 9 existing and 2 new forms/documents were approved and

these will be included in our Report to Batumi GA. 10 of those, which involve minor or

consequent updates, are in a zip file that can be downloaded from …… Attached herewith is

the important new one, the updated regulations for the FIDE Handbook (B.08).

RATING/HOMOLOGATION PROPOSAL

Handbook B.0.0.2 states: The tournaments to be rated shall be pre‐registered by the

federation that will be responsible for the submission of results and rating fees.

However, there can be a problem, as occurred this year, when an International Organization

is responsible for a tournament that takes place within the territory of a national federation.

If the national federation is reluctant to apply to FIDE for homologation of the event for

rating, then the International Organization is hamstrung. We believe that the International

Organization should, in such circumstances, have the right to arrange directly with FIDE the

homologation and rating of such an event.

We propose that the PB approve this idea for onward transmission to QC (who have

responsibility this area of the Handbook).

Next meeting in Batumi

Commission meeting 09.29 (15.00‐19.00) with a Council meeting TBA (probably late morning 09.29).
